YES I HAVE VANCE & HINES BIG RADIUS ON MY K-9 AND IT SCRAPING WHEN TURN RIGHT . I DONT THING IT SAFE SO I END UP MODE OUT THE BACK END TIP AND CUT THE LOWER TIP MOVED IN AND UP 1 INCH. NOW BOTH TIPS ARE LOOKING GOOD LIKE STOCK BUT THE LOWER IS SHORTER . I THING IT LOOK BETTER THEN THE STOCK ONE AND IT NOT SCRAPING YES .

I have never scraped mine, yet. But look on the bright side, at some point when you have scraped off enough they will stop dragging.

you'll get used to it George. Especially on the roundabouts here in the UK. I still do it with Streetwalkers...trouble is its right on the belly of the collector and I'm gonna have a hole in it soon.

Pipes on the left and kick stand on the right. You either have to ride less aggressivly or get used to it I guess.

Been there and done that ( the being behind you) Scuba! Now my exhaust is the same as yours and just as loud. I have a few right hand war wounds on the bottom of mine as well. I'm just hoping I get well soon enough to get to enjoy that show of riding behind you again at Myrtle Beach. :cheers:

You're right Reaper. I'm about to that point where I've almost drug the tip off of the bottom pipe, but much past that point I drag the frame anyways. Looks to me like it's time for T to get some air ride. Pump her up and ride that $hit out of it!!!!!

Use to scrape my V&H BR but I want to cringe at the idea of scraping the new pipes.

I've got some battle scares on my MM exhaust in addition to the frame. Mostly caused by my forgetting to air it all the way up (air ride) after it has been sitting for several weeks. Even all the way up it's easy to scrapp these things if your not careful.

Roundabouts have been around in Europe for centries (I'm guessing) but new here in the States ... I remember when I was stationed in England in 73 - 76 that the roundabouts were the greatest thing and that we in America need to catch up on a simple idea ... well here in Arizona they finally are catching on but people don't know who has the right-a-way yet !!!! dumb butts anywho my .02 cents ...
FYI ... I haven't scraped my pipes yet ... I've scraped my foot ... does that count?:roll: :lol: :hi:
